Glimpses of our Easter Sunday

Please scroll down and turn off the music player before watching the following videos. Enjoy these songs from our Easter service.


Kevin sings "I Saw His Scars". Since meeting Kevin about 12 years ago, he has become one of my favorite singers. Trust me, this video does NOT do him justice!

Kevin and I share a long time private joke! Don't worry-his wife took this photo.

It's too much to explain here!

Me, Shane, Agustin

(We're missing Josh who remains in WV at this time. I really missed making up an Easter Basket full of his favorite goodies this year! Even the year he was in college, I took baskets to him and all dorm students.)


John, Diana, Denise
Diana was thrilled to have her daughter and son in law in town for the special day.


Rose, Stephanie, Kevin


AGUSTIN, please tell me you're NOT discussing politics at church?
(I see the body language here which is all too familiar lately! And I heard Kevin tell him he should run for Governor of Florida, to which Agustin responded:
"I am considering running for Mayor! LOL)


Shane, Grandma, Grandpa


What is more precious than an annual tradition? These two have been coloring eggs together since Shane's first Easter. He was 4 months old when this tradition began.)

I've seen Stephanie grow into a sweet, young lady. I'm sorry my camera stopped recording before she quite finished this song. Enjoy!

HELP, I've Fallen Behind and I Can't Catch Up!

I can't seem to stay on top of things lately. Would you all mind if I post some photos from our Easter Sunday? I know, I'm only about a month behind, but I really would like to share the photos with my family. Hope you don't find these too old and boring! Remember, Dad had his heart attack a few days before Easter and was in the hospital waiting for open-heart surgery during this time. I think that is when I got so far behind on everything!

We didn't color eggs this year, but instead found this neat cookie kit at Wal-Mart. It included the already made cookies, with frosting of different colors and candies. Shane really enjoyed it!

After the morning service, we went to Olive Garden to eat with the Leonard family. Above are Alex and Shane!

Mike and Kim Leonard, dear friends of ours! If you ever need a laugh, hang out with this couple!

My hubby was working, but took time out to pop over to our table and give us the royal treatment! Isn't he so handsome? I was in so much pain this day, but forced myself out for the sake of the boys. Josh had to help me dress before church. Normally, Agustin will do this on a Sunday if I'm too stiff, but he had to go in early that day. I told Josh he was receiving more training for when he becomes a husband.

Excuse the squints! They were staring right into the glorious sun!

Josh and Shane Rios with Ashley and Alex Leonard - outside of Olive Garden!

I was being silly and thought it would be funny to snap a photo of the Leonard's in their van every time we passed them! Josh was driving and would keep maneuvering so we would have to pass them or they would pass us. I remember giggling so hard! I'm sure everyone else thought the lady in the Caddy was nuts!

(It doesn't take much to amuse me, just ask Yekwana man!)

Later, after going home and changing clothes and waiting for Agustin to get home from work, we all headed for Tampa General Hospital to visit Dad. He was feeling great, having been resting in the hospital for 4 days and awaiting surgery for a triple by-pass. We took plastic Easter eggs with us and hid them in his hospital room. He thought it was a hoot! We also took boiled eggs to eat and a few other goodies. We actually had quite the unique Easter this year! Most importantly, we rejoiced in the fact that we serve a RISEN Savior!
